that she was a victim Of foul play and

that he was doing work for the public, and

prompt to respond to all proper requests

Hia order preventing access to the war
records was based on tho flag matter, and
was solely melted by it. He knows no
more about his proper authority in the
matter than he knew OF the'law covering
the flags. Congress has ordered tho war
record published. The great bulk Of it is
ready for the printer. Mr.. Endicott by
trying to delay and suppress it for some
timo to come Is simply revoking the order
OF Congress. He does not even know
that ex-Confaderates are even more inter
ested in having their records made public
than the veterans of the North, because
while the North had fair access to its
records during the war those at the South
were in the main q eealed book.
